Bonita would lead 25 – 24 – 1 if you include the CIF playoff game in 99
From T. Peterson: Thanks John.
We only consider smudgepot games, when the trophy is exchanged not the playoffs. The Students in the San Dimas yearbook published the wrong score in 75. The progress bulletin and the actual smudgepot trophy with the scores engraved on it verify Bonita won
From T. Peterson: Thanks John. What was the score of the ’75 game?
For the official history of the smudge pot game check out: https://smudgepotgame.com/. You have some mistakes: the official record is 24 – 24- 1. Bonita won the 1975 game. https://smudgepotgame.com/smudgepot-1975/
From T. Peterson: If Bonita won the 1975 game (which there was some a discrepancy on) and Bonita also won the playoff game in 1987 that would make it 50 games total. Bonita would actually lead the series 26-23-1 including the playoff victory. Is that what you have?
